Voiceless it cries
Wingless it flutters
Toothless it bites
Mouthless it mutters

All of you who know the book this riddle is from, please don't give the answer away. If nobody else guesses it we can give hints, but better not too obvious ones.

I know the answer!

But I'm not going to tell.

I was going to say a baby.

A baby sure is tooth and wingless, but nobody who has been around a baby for a while would say that it cries voiceless, and it also does have a mouth. Try again

Is it a cloud? It cries (rains) without a voice, flies without wings, bites with a storm, and rumbles thunder without a mouth...

No. Think of a cave.

To be honest I do not really see why to solve this riddle Arvens ought to think of a cave? :huh: Actually there are not many places where you are farther from the answer. The answer my friend is gone with the cave.

The Answer can reside in a cave Malte. Do you want me to give the answer?

Actually I think you are thinking of the wrong riddle. Tell me your answer please.

Wind. Wind can blow inside a cave from the mouth of the cave. The riddle is from the Hobbit. It was asked by Gollum to Bilbo, and Bilbo got the answer right.

True, but wind can only blow into a cave if there is another way out. At all events I wouldn't think of a cave if I was asked to think of a windy place.

This spirit is a symbol to young creatures in this book. If you know the answer please give it.

Help me out--are creatures referring to animals other than humans?

Nick22 · **Reply #54 on:** December 09, 2004, 11:07:52 PM

"creatures' refers to animals not humans.

Heh, I'm going to say Lord Frith is the god of the rabbits of Watership Down.

Nick22 · **Reply #56 on:** December 10, 2004, 09:42:14 AM

No, but this story is similar to Watership Down.

Could it be Redwall and the spirit is Martin the Warrior?

Nick22 · **Reply #58 on:** December 10, 2004, 03:48:25 PM

You got it Arvens. I have all the books in th Redwall series save for the most recent one. I'm a big fan of the books.

I own most of them myself, but I haven't been to Amazon recently to get the one's I'm still missing.

I'm not a riddler so someone else make something.
